Biography

Rainalducci was born at Corvaro, an ancient stronghold near Rieti in Lazio. He joined the Franciscan order after separating from his wife in 1310, and became famous as a preacher. He was elected through the influence of the excommunicated Emperor, Louis IV the Bavarian, by an assembly of priests and laymen, and consecrated at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome on May 12, 1328 by the bishop of Venice. After spending four months in Rome, he withdrew with Louis IV to Viterbo and then to Pisa, where he was guarded by the imperial vicar. On February 19, 1329 Nicholas V presided at a bizarre ceremony in the Duomo of Pisa, at which a straw puppet representing Pope John XXII and dressed in pontifical robes was formally condemned, degraded, and handed over to the secular arm. Nicholas V was excommunicated by John XXII in April 1329, and sought refuge with Count Boniface of Donoratico near Piombino. Having obtained assurance of pardon, he presented a confession of his sins first to the archbishop of Pisa, and then at Avignon on August 25, 1330 to John XXII, who absolved him.

Pope Nicholas V - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (925 words)
Nicholas V, né Tomaso Parentucelli (November 15, 1397 – March 24, 1455) was pope from March 6, 1447, to March 24, 1455.
Nicholas instead employed Lorenzo Valla as a notary and kept hundreds (confirm; this seems high) of copyists and scholars, with the special aim of wholesale translations of Greek works, pagan as well as Christian, into Latin, giving as much as ten thousand gulden for a metrical translation of Homer.
Nicholas himself was a man of vast erudition, and his friend Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II) said of him that "what he does not know is outside the range of human knowledge".
